Pet Sitting Downtown

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember! As a teen and young adult, I would often offer to walk roommates' or friends' dogs because I enjoyed spending time with them. I’ve helped people and dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to senior dogs that need a bit more TLC. I developed an interest in dog psychology to better understand how they communicate which evolved into helping train friend's dogs until I adopted my own Staffordshire Terrier in 2014. When I adopted him, he was very weary of people and had a hard time socializing with dogs. Fast forward to now (and lots of lots of research into dog psychology and training), he's in a place where he enjoys meeting new people and other dogs! I'd love the opportunity to work with you and your pup(s)! I'm currently working a flexible part time schedule, so please reach out and let me know what you are looking for and let's make it work! Let me know how you take care of your pet and I will be happy to do the same! While new to Rover, watching, walking, training, and overall loving on dogs has always come easily to me. And as a dog owner myself, I know the importance of being confident that your dog (and home) is cared for in the way that they need when you're not around.

About: Hello! I am a caring and trustworthy dog sitter that is incredibly patient and loves going on walks and finding new spots to sniff with my furry friends! Been the go to sitter for my friends and looking to expand. Have taken care of Labrador dogs to as small as Dachshunds. I work remote from home which offers me a bunch of flexibility to be able to care for your pet. I bike all over LB so I know the area and don’t have to worry about street parking if I need to get there quick! I own a beautiful 15 year old orange Tabby cat who is very vocal!! Hosting at mine may be tricky since I have roommates but also open to exploring that idea if need be. When I am an animal sitter for friends I like to leave their home looking better than when they left. Don’t mind light housekeeping chores to make your life and your animals life easier.

About: I grew up with animals my entire life ( including exotic and farm), volunteered at the wildlife rehab center, and local vet hospital throughout college. From cats, dogs, birds, snakes, lizards, newts, any furr or slimey critter that needs love and attention while you're away! Senior or adolescent I'm experienced with caring for any age, dietary, attention, or medications needs :) I'm a cancer survivor so caring for myself and pets its my job! I'm available to be a regular friendly face every week or supplement support when you have long days or stuck at work! I'm located right in downtown long beach and familiar with safe parks to take your pets to, or happy to entertain them at their home in a safe space :) I'm very attentive and adjust my approach according to your pets comfort.

About: Ive always worked with big pups but we are body positive here. I volunteer at shelters just to make the little guys happy and cant wait to meet and take care of all kinds of new friends. I just moved to Long Beach and as i am looking for a full time job in the hospital again, I’d love to care for your pets! my schedule is super flexible, ideally early morning to afternoon. Your fur (or furless) babies are so special, gotta keep them entertained and happy, just let me know what you need and I will be there!

“Tina has been caring for my 3 cats while I am away/out of town. She has been amazing with communication, timely, and easy to work with! I highly recommend and look forward to working with her again.”

“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Experienced Caregiver. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, raising everything from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two gorgeous cats (ages 8 and 4) who mean the world to me. For the past several years, I have channeled my passion into professional pet sitting, hands-on shelter volunteering, and fostering—including raising a lively 4-month-old Doberman puppy. I have a massive heart for all animals and promise to treat your pets with the exact same deep love, safety, and dedicated care that I give my own. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Right now, I have the luxury of a completely open schedule! Since I’m currently between jobs, my days revolve entirely around pet care. Whether your cat or dog needs a mid-day play session, early morning feedings, or late-night cuddles, I can easily fit into their established routine. This flexibility also means I’m highly responsive and available for short-notice requests or extended daytime stays. Safety & Peace of Mind Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Thanks to my background volunteering in animal shelters and fostering, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and body language. I know how to spot stress early and ensure a calm, secure environment. My own home is entirely cat-proofed, smoke-free, and tailored to the comfort of my two resident cats. Whether in your home or mine, I am meticulous about keeping doors secure, maintaining strict hygiene (especially with litter boxes), and following your exact safety instructions. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to worry.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have experience with walking, boarding, sitting, training, grooming and more. Though the majority of my professional experience revolves around dog walking, watching, and training, I also am very familiar and fond of cats. Currently I have one senior Shih Tzu named Marcus, he’s been with me since he was 6 weeks old and is now turning 13 in August. The love and devotion I have for my pup is the same I have for every animal I encounter, I am very passionate about providing the same level of care Marcus receives to each pet I am trusted with. Currently I work hybrid remote and on site as an interior designer. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time to service my fellow pet parents! Pets are allowed to roam freely in my home but I am happy to accommodate crate trained animals as well. My small dog loves company, he is very playful and friendly. As for sittings at my clients homes I follow all instructions thoroughly ensuring that your pet stays at ease, on schedule and full of happiness until your return.

About: I always had pets of all kinds growing up and grew to love all animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, and all other pets for family, friends, and clients for over a decade by doing walks, drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during my weekly routine to schedule any dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting days. I provide the best care possible for all pets in my care. I make sure that I am observing the animals behavior to check if they are comfortable and follow all owners instructions to perfection.

“I was away on vacation for a week and needed a pet sitter last minute. Sydney was really easy to work with and had no problem with the instructions. Her communication was prompt and clear. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hello! My name is Chloe and I want to help you care for your dog (or cat)! I'm available to do drop-in visits with your pet and to take your dog on walks! My home is also open for doggy day-care! I've had pets my entire life (dogs and cats) and I’ve been a sitter/walker before. I love taking care of pets whether they're my own or yours! I love all animals, big or small. I've been around plenty of puppies and kittens so I know how to be gentle, effectively look after them, and give them the best care. I'm confident that your pets will love me! My schedule and availability are always changing as I am a therapist, so this section gets updated frequently. I have a dog of my own and she gets plenty of exercise and playtime despite my busy schedule. I will always follow your care plan for your pet. I am only comfortable with what you are comfortable with. Safety is of utmost importance to me when caring for your pet. In my home, my dog is crate trained and is never home alone outside of the crate or a safely enclosed room. My dog is a pittie mix so she requires an extensive skincare routine and has experienced minor health issues like an ear infection. I am comfortable administering ointments, creams, and medications if need be to your pet.

“Kiana was a wonderful sitter. I will definitely be using her services again. I always came home to a very happy pup thanks to her care.”
